The mysterious young man who is expected to take over as leader of North Korea
has been put in charge of plans for aggressive demonstrations to disrupt a
summit of world leaders in Seoul, according to a defector’s report published
in the South.

In a sign of his rising influence, Jong-un, the third and youngest son of the
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, is said to have chaired a meeting of the
powerful National Defence Commission to discuss the campaign.

It is likely to include a call for extreme left-wing groups sympathetic to
North Korea to join violent protests against the G20 summit in the South
Korean capital in November.

Police are preparing a huge security operation to protect the meeting, and
South Korea’s military forces, plus 27,000 US troops, will be on high alert
for any North Korean provocations such as the sinking of a naval frigate
